Fellow researchers, as a scholar, historian and professor emeritus at Austin College, I have taught and written about Texas history for more than four decades. In doing this work, I've relied extensively on primary source materials to help illustrate and bring the rich history of our state alive. Content within UNT Libraries' Portal to Texas History does just that! The Portal has brought Texas' history to my fingertips, further augmenting my class presentations, with key images that inspire students and encourage lively discussion. Simply put, the Portal to Texas History is transforming how we research, write and teach Texas history!
Something so worthwhile cannot exist without significant investments from the university and our philanthropic community. For this reason, I personally support the Portal to Texas History, because I love the great state of Texas and its rich, colorful history. As 2018 draws to a close, and in this season of giving, I ask you to join me in helping UNT Libraries meet their NEH Challenge goal. Please join me in making a gift to support the Portal to Texas History!

could give me areason There is no reasonforit Swearing is a habit with nibstmen and is usually acquired bythe boy through contact with hiselders and being acquired inyouth holds on to a man until hedies or resolves to cut it out Itis a habit and yet it is a freakishone A man will swear to beatsixbits on the streets in his of-fice or among men but he wontswear at home before his wife orif he swears before his wife hewont swear in his home in thepresence of his neighbors wifeSo you sec this swearing habit hasits habit of when and where toswear affording proof that it is awelcomed habit If
